Comments	I have been diving with four dive operators in Puerto Vallarta, and Marc and his father Alun are the best. I have been diving with them for the last 5 years. Their equipment is is great shape, they are very concerned about the safety of each diver, and they usually only take six or less diving. No Cattle Car with this group, unlike some others in PV. They have been diving the area for about a decade so they know where the creatures are on each site--scorpion fish, golden and moray eels, large schools of reef fish, octopus, and last time 4 Eagle Rays, and in the past I've seen Mantas and even a frog fish. This is a bi-lingual family operation. they have a great sense of humor and--best for us divers--they love what they do! No, you aren't going to see sharks, and other large palagics that you might see farther south in Costa Rica Pacific. also, in the PV area, there is lots of food in the water so the vis is just OK with small currents and warm water in August. Winter and spring months get cold, 7mm wetsuit, water. Just email Marc, and he will tell you the water temps. It's a pleasure diving with Marc and Alun!
